***~~~ At The GDA Waiting Room ~~~***

“Oppa, do you keep the thing I gave to you safely?” Naeun asked her manager as they entered the waiting room before their stylish do some touch up before they get on stage.

“Yeah, Don’t worry it’s with me all the time. It should be handed to him after you done with your first stage right? I work things out when you guys performing on the stage” Her manager winked at her then he left

When Naeun turned around she found all of her members smiling at each other, while Boomi cuddling Hayoung while acting cute. Naeun realized that her member was teasing her again so she sighed and blushed. Then she went to sit next to Chorong who seemed to be normal one compared to others. Right then Boomi went to give Namjoo a back hug and rest her chin on her shoulder.

“Make sure the arms show, okay~~~?” Boomi imitated a guy voice as she looked at Naeun, then everyone screamed. She acted out the scene where Naeun and Taemin had their affectionate skinship for the first time after they were little drunk beer together.

“Unnie!! don’t do that~~~,” Naeun was so embarrassed as she covered up her face

“Hahahaha, Yah… you really good at this. Maybe you can become a comedian with that talent of yours, Boomi-ah” Eunji gave her a thumb up as she couldn’t stop herself from laughing.

As the girls was having fun, their manager came in and told them to get ready to go on stage. Naeun started to get nervous so Eunji came beside her and linked her hand as they was waiting to go on the stage

“Don’t worry too much and relax, just focus at the fans. You should get use to it because this is what you will face from now on whenever both of our group meetup. Breath, Naeun-ah.” Eunji pathed Naeun’s arm and gave her a smile, then they all made their way to the stage

Naeun tried to take Eunji’s advice, and only focused at the fans, but Pink Pandas were at the same direction where Taemin and his group stood. It was really hard for her to not looking at him.  One in awhile Eunji caught Naeun glancing at Taemin from behind, then she started laughing to herself, Naeun-ah if you like an opened book like this people will find out in no time. (Sighed) Poor Naeunie, she so cute~.

Naeun realized that Taemin’s wasn’t in a really good mood, he looked upset in some way so she began to worry little. Is it because I didn’t give him any respond or contact him, that’s why he looks so unhappy? Or did he have some problem at the company? - Naeun got distracted from her thoughts when Eunji tapped her arm, then she realized that the fans were waving at her, then she waved back. Naeun tried to be normal and looked at the crowd then she saw some of huge fans that had been follow them since debut, so she called Eunji to look at them together. She spent most of the rest of the time looking at the fans and chit chat at Eunji because she didn’t want to get caught.

Taemin was trying to act cool and careless but now and then he would asked Kai to tell him how was Naeun as she stood behind him, because only Kai and his group had a nice view of her. They spent most of the time talking about it, then the introduction ended just like that. Apink and shinee went to their separate way, even there wasn’t any camera around the area as much but there was a lot of other artists so they didn’t want to be found out.

***~~~ Shinee Waiting Room ~~~***

As Taemin got into his waiting room, he looked at his phone again but nothing showed. Then he put his phone away and hurried to get change so that he could monitor Apink on stage. While he was changing, his manager came in and looked for him

“Yah, some random fangirl gave me this to hand over to you.” The manager tried to hold back his laugh as he gave it to Taemin

Taemin wasn’t that excited to get it because he still didn’t get any news from Naeun at all. After he took the package, Taemin asked his manager if he heard anything from her, his manager just shooked his head and walked out. Taemin put on his sulky  face came to sit down at the chair across the TV. Then he threw the package out of frustration, then he realized something off

“Hung!!! Who did you say this was from?” Taemin asked his manager as he walked toward him

“Your fangirl,” then he laughed, and all the shinee members looked at him strangely as if their manager had gone banana

“Is he okay? Did someone accidentally give him the wrong medicine, or something?”  Jonghyun whispered to Key and Key shrugged his shoulders.

Right then Onew came in and the volume of the TV,

“Yah, Apink is performing right now” everyone quiet down and turned their attention toward the TV, while they all watching Jonghyun and Key would joke around and they laughed while Taemin would smiled along.

While seeing Naeun on stage, Taemin still little confused about something and right after Apink finished No No No, Taemin grabbed the package and went to sit alone at the corner sofa of the room  as s went to get change for their stage outfit.

After he opened the package, he found a bag that full of rectangular paper and a card,  This comes from Naeun?,  Taemin recalled Naeun did thing like this once at MBC when she went to see him during his comeback. Taemin got so excited and nervous at the same time and most importantly he more worried of the things in the bag. Don’t tell me it’s what I think it is, please….. Taemin let out a big sigh as he saw what was in the bag,....

“Oh My God,...... yah, michin geos. It's picture puzzle…” Taemin reached out and read the card that came with the package

Oppa, it’s me Naeun. I know you might pulling your hair out after see the stuff I send you, but I really hope you will  put a lot of work into this and be able to solve it thoroughly. When you are done, come to find me at the location that I left in the puzzle as a hint. I promise it will be a lot more easier this time. Just think about the day we spent together ,  then you will be able to complete it in no time. I’ll be waiting for you and your response.  Naeun <3

Taemin slowly remove the picture from the bag, then he broke into a smile. They were the picture that he and Naeun took together when they spent time together. No one knew or had seen them because they were personal pictures between the two of them. Taemin piled up the picture side by side after he looked at them one by one. All the fun memories came back to him one at a time, it seemed like it was only yesterday they were first met.

After he finished looking at them, Taemin began to sigh again because he had no clue of what he was suppose to do and how to find the hint that Naeun told him about. There were about 100 pictures, and unlike the first puzzle that Naeun gave him, this had nothing in common at all. The color and pattern, or the background were all different.

“What are these? Are you too bored, or you’re out of your mind because you miss Naeun too much?” Key came by after he finished changing, then the rest came in after him

“Wow, what are these Lee Taemin?” Jonghyun looked at the pictures, “Are you trying to boast about your sweet romance or something? Look at you two lovebirds, you make me feel so lonely”

“It a puzzle that Naeun sent to me, but I have no clue how to solve this. Hyung~ please help me~~~” Taemin gave them a puppy eyes

“Wow… Yah… Son Naeun, is she a puzzle maniac, or something? this looks so hard I don’t know how to help you with that,” Key looked at Taemin, then the rest of the members laughed at him

“Hhahhaha.. ya don’t say it like that. But it does look difficult, didn’t she give you any hint? There should be a hint right?” Onew asked Taemin
